Hi, I’m Chris Galios, owner and Bowen Therapist at Waverley Gardens Natural Therapies.

​

My journey into Bowen Therapy began after a life-changing accident in 1992, when I was crushed between an 8-tonne truck and a 4-tonne truck. I was transported by ambulance to The Alfred Hospital, where medical staff worked quickly to assess my condition. After thorough examinations, the doctors told me something I’ll never forget:

“You shouldn’t be here telling us how it happened.”

​

That moment marked the beginning of my healing journey.

​

Over the years, I explored many different treatment approaches, searching for lasting relief. While some offered temporary improvement, nothing truly addressed the deeper recovery my body needed — until I discovered The Bowen Technique.

​

I was amazed by how gentle yet powerful it was. Instead of forcing change, it allowed my body to reset and heal itself. The results were profound, and I knew I wanted to help others experience the same.

​

I went on to become a qualified Bowen Therapist, training with Ossie and Elaine Rentsch, founders of the Bowtech Academy. I am trained in all special procedures and have now been supporting clients for over 26 years.

​

My clinic, Waverley Gardens Natural Therapies, has been operating since 2015, providing a calm and supportive space for people seeking pain relief, recovery and improved wellbeing.

​

I truly love what I do and feel privileged to help clients on their journey toward better health. I look forward to continuing this work for many years to come.
